Remember MK2 arcade when it told you what happened in MK1? That was great. It has kind of been down hill from there. After 3/U/T, it felt like the games had little connection. Nothing from 4 seemed to carrie over to DA... I can't put my finger on it exactly but the connection between games needs to be stronger, other wise I mise well watch a sitcom where after a half hour everything that happened is reset.
In DA I understand Quan Chi and Shang Tsung killing Lui Kang. That made sense. Aside from getting him out of the way it would do damage to his comrades' spirts (or so you would- more bad story telling). So killing Lui made sense to me but killing Kahn did not. They say cause Kahn was a threat to them but was he really? They could have done all this under Kahn's nose but many will say mise well kill him just in case but that is where my problem is. Kahn is dangerous. It took both them to kill him. Now what if Reptile or Noob or some other warrior was there to fight with Kahn? It surely would have spelt faliure for the so called D.A.
Quan Chi apparently has Shinnok's amulet. Either he just has a fake and he likes to where it or it is not THAT powerful- which backtracts a lot on MK4 and MKM. It is a shame.
Much, much, much more. My point is a real fun story in MK6.
